Overall, my stay was good.
The check-in was smooth, the staff were super kind, attentive.
Suggestion: have daily cleaning in the rooms, pay attention to the rules inside the rooms especially about food and keep the door closed.
it was amazing. they don’t let people from LA stay or anyone without a proof of travel. and it makes such a good difference from other hostels in LA. i met travelers from New Zealand and Australia during my stay in room E. Staff is also was very friendly ✨🙏
The staff was exceptional and attentive to all my needs. Being from Hawaii, they showed Aloha all the way until me departure. I'm an actor and was in your for my film festival feature and the restful sleep was great!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The staff is not always available and the restrictions are a bit nonsense, but if what you need is just a bed and a restroom, the place is great!

The room was in Building D and was amazingly quiet. Very clean. I'm staying in Los Angeles from Hawaii for acting and highly recommend the Rumi. The staff are the best part of the experience as they are very hospitable.
